On June 5 in Baseball History...​
  • 1948 - Richie Ashburn of the Phillies hits safely for the 23rd straight game in a 6-5 win at Chicago, setting a 20th-century N.L. record for a rookie.

  • 1974 - Oakland's Reggie Jackson and Billy North engage in a clubhouse fight at Detroit. Jackson injures his shoulder, and Ray Fosse, attempting to separate the combatants, suffers a crushed disk in his neck that virtually ends his season.

  • 1977 - The Dodgers retire former manager Walter Alston's uniform, number 24, on Old-Timers Day. Doug Rau then pitches the current Dodgers to a 4-2 win over the Padres.

  • 1981 - Houston's Nolan Ryan passes Early Wynn as baseball's all-time walks allowed leader, giving up two walks in a 3-0 win over the Mets to raise his total to 1,777. Ryan also fans ten batters while pitching a five-hitter.

  • 1987 - Dwight Gooden returns from drug rehabilitation and allows one run in six and two-thirds innings to earn the win as the Mets beat the Pirates 5-1 at Shea Stadium.

  • 1989 - The Toronto SkyDome opens, but the Blue Jays lose 5-3 to the Brewers. Baseball's newest and most modern stadium features a fully retractable roof, a hotel, the world's largest video display board, and a Hard Rock Cafe.

  • 1997 - Seattle shortstop Alex Rodriguez becomes only the second Mariners player ever to hit for the cycle in a 14-6 victory at Detroit. Rodriguez did it the hard way, hitting his triple in the eighth and his double in the ninth. A lucky Mariners fan collected a $1 million prize in a radio promotion due to Rodriguez's feat.

Later on tonight. Apparently, the networks think the majority of the people are still at work during the day time hours. MLB channel has a game that comes on at 7pm CT. That game (supposedly) between the St.Louis Cardinals & Texas Rangers.
